Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been medically cleared to return to NASCAR after a test session at Darlington Raceway, the series announced. Earnhardt sat out the last half of 2016 to recover from a concussion, and will return to competition at the Daytona 500.

The $2.223 million lawsuit filed by NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer against HScott Motorsports and team owner Harry Scott Jr. on Nov. 21 was settled Thursday, reports NBC Sports. The lawsuit alleged that HScott owed Bowyer two monthly payments and a commission for bringing sponsorship to the team.

Monster Energy—a liquid, drinkable form of YO, STOP LOOKING AT MY GIRL—will become the new sponsor for NASCAR’s top series. That’s right: NASCAR’s next big hauler fight will be brought to you by the fizzy beverage of choice of flat-brimmed roid-bros everywhere. It’s a match made in heaven.

NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer sued his HScott Motorsports team for breach of contract and fraud for at least $2.223 million, reports ESPN. The lawsuit alleges that the team missed two monthly payments as well as a commission for bringing sponsorship to the team.

As you all probably know, telling people what to do on the internet will almost always backfire. NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin learned that recently when he told Twitter users to stop counting down to the Daytona 500, and his Twitter mentions are now quite, uh, numerical. That was a bad idea.

NASCAR’s hilariously intense, pushy-shovey action film series on the Chase for the Sprint Cup has come to its inevitable conclusion. The wrap-up involves Jimmie Johnson making a physics-defying fall, and it’s just as wonderfully bizarre as the rest of the series.

With a victory in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Jimmie Johnson won his seventh series championship on Sunday night. Johnson joins Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr. in the ranks of seven all-time Sprint Cup championships.

Pit crews often spray down sticky substances like coke (not pop or soda, you Philistines—coke) to increase traction during high-pressure pit stops, like this one during today’s NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup finale at Homestead-Miami. Maybe someone swapped the coke bottle for bacon grease?

On a restart with 10 laps to go in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season finale, championship contenders Carl Edwards and Joey Logano got feisty and made contact. Edwards wound up in a wall, Logano sustained some damage and poor Martin Truex Jr. wound up with a fireball of a race car.

A crew member on the No. 48 of Chase for the Sprint Cup contender Jimmie Johnson had a mild slip-up during today’s NASCAR season finale. The jack-carrying crew man slipped on a pair of lugnuts taken off during the tire change.

NASCAR’s elimination-based, playoff-style Chase for the Sprint Cup has its fair share of ups and downs. Playoffs up the drama, sure, but the championship doesn’t always go to the driver who wins the most. The insane videos they produce for the Chase, however, are by far the best thing about it.

An hour before the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the cars of three of the four championship drivers had yet to pass technical inspection. The No. 18 team of Kyle Busch was the only one on the grid, and NBC Sports Network said the other cars failed three different times.

Ahead of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, NASCAR CEO Brian France discussed the future of the sport, its search for a title sponsor and various other subjects. Perhaps his most defensive answer came in response to his support of president-elect Donald Trump.

NASCAR Xfinity Series competitor Daniel Suarez, who Motorsport reports became the first Mexico-born driver to win a NASCAR national series race with an Xfinity Series victory at Michigan International Speedway in June, took the series title with a win at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday night.

Hey Joey, what’s happening? Well, uh, rumor around town says you might be thinkin’ about going down to the pits. You know, swap out wheels, fuel the car, maybe watch the car catch fire, and change into that Def Leppard t-shirt.

Amazon’s The Grand Tourdebuted last night, and it was good, but so much of it felt familiar. The studio felt the same, the hosts felt the same, the camera work and the whole lot of it felt the same as once and former Top Gear. One thing was different, however. There was no more Stig. Instead, there was a guy named...…

While many wallow in sadness about the election of a racist, sexist person into the highest U.S. office, there will be a celebratory livery on a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series entry next weekend. The Donald Trump liveries—yes, there have been several—have gone from embarrassing to very, very depressing.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race started at 10 p.m. ET on Friday night, which is almost past my bedtime. That’s why, when I saw the driver who has dominated this entire season get eliminated from the series’ championship, I thought it was a dream. It really happened.
